“Walters, Serkis and Mackintosh on board for Sugarhouse Lane”.

“New UK-based digital film production and distribution company Slingshot will begin shooting its debut feature Sugarhouse Lane on Aug 21. Director Gary Love makes his feature film debut, with a script by Dominic Leyton based on his stage play Collision….”

And then there’s a quote from me, which sounds suspiciously premeditated:

“The energy and pace of this project make it a perfect fit with slingshot’s own ethos. In less than six months we have gone from our first meeting with the writer to the first day of principal photography – this is not something that happens very often in the British film industry. For SUGARHOUSE LANE to have managed it - and with a cast and crew as excellent and exciting as this - categorically proves that what matters is the strength of your belief, the integrity of your approach and the quality of the material; not the size of your budget. The talent and commitment of our collaborators on this project affirms our faith in the slingshot model, and fills us all with fire to make a really great film”.
